How to Fix OpenCorePkg vs OcBinaryData Proprietary Software

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Boot with -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 to identify the exact kernel panic.
  2. Validate your config.plist using ocvalidate.
  3. Ensure your EFI matches the Dortania guide specifications for your CPU generation.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

Am I correct to assume that everything in OpenCorePkg is open source, while OcBinaryData contains some proprietary data (like HfsPlus.efi)? I'd just like to know because I'd like to host my EFI on github for version control and I'd like to keep it legal.
